I have picked up a few of these and am pleased with the steady rise. This is the holding company which owns Ofex and in Dec-more mm's will be joining it to make it a stronger competitor for LSE and Aim markets. Well known market firms seem to be investing in this one but so far small investors and analysts are not taking much interest. I'm in early as I think it will do well---any comments from regulars on here?

hawick: Thanks for that trading update. I'm inclined to agree with the final comment about an exciting future. Hope you are aboard PMK, if not, the recent dip in the sp might be a useful point to join.

thanks Hawick sounds more promising than DGT maybe I should change over.

MP, you're welcome and I don't want to interfere with the thread again, but PMK does have some chart resistance around 25p from a couple of years ago and I think it might be close to running its course - newsflow not quite having the same impact for now. It can run again but maybe not for a while.

Re STH it is not a short term play and though liquidity is improving these things are relative (210k shares traded yesterday) but in two-three years I am sure it will multi-bag. But the last time I looked DGT had a market cap about four million with no stakes in their client businesses. The STH stakes are growing all the time, leaving the broking business valued at barely 1 million, which surely has to be wrong, about a quarter of DGT, and with a property investment arm set to float next year, STH is a very exciting long term investment imho.

DGT is a decent little business but on valuation grounds in comparison I think it is very hard to get away from Ofex:STH. Definitely worth a look.

Hawick agree with your comments re PMK and thanks for the details on STH-I'll hope to fund a few soon. Have a good christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year. MP

hawick: Not sure that my charts are saying the same thing as yours on PMK; and in any case, this time it'a different, or as we used to say during the dot-com boom years, it's a new paradigm. The pause may just be a breather on the uphill scramble.
Never did like DGT by the way, they always seemed to be foraging for peanuts.

PMK has now fallen around 35%, so maybe hawick was right about resistance @ 25p, but on the other hand, even after the fall, it has since July, outpaced all my other high fliers including AEX, CSB, ELA and ULT (not that I was in PMK in July).
The year end news summaries talk of the heavy regulation over at Nasdaq driving up the new listings on our AIM, so I'm still optimistic that the EU legislaters will be driving more onto OFEX and hence PMK. I'm staying in and probably adding.

Now the launch has taken place the interest has died down so this one may stay quiet for a while and slip back as we have seen. unless the tipsters pick it up we will probably have to wait for trading updates to see how it is doing. long term I'm still optomistic as so many companies are looking to join Ofex and Aim--one to add on dips I think. I'm also holding AEX and CSB-I think they could move up very quickly on any positive news. good luck for 2006 all.

moving up strongly again I'm pleased to see.

PMK tipped in the 'Share Weekly' today on the everyinvestor.co.uk website.

Chart support around 15-16p which would be a fairly classical 50% retracement and a good buying opportunity imho.
May find some interim support around here before falling back, but better buying opportunity in a few weeks time imho, as long as markets in general don't suffer a major retracement (which I would not rule out btw).

took some profits so now holding free ones-will look to add some more when the market steadies. cheers hawick MP

"Ofex is pleased to welcome KBC Peel Hunt as the fourth market maker for Ofex securities."

Anyone know why PMK has leapt into life this morning??

With all stock markets in bloom, surely PMK is due to resume its upward progress. Meanwhile, the prredators are circling LSE and there are hints in the W/E press that the NYSE might join the bidding. What price for a solitary minnow when it comes to their notice.

Good point squidd--I shall just tuck mine away and wait!

New SP high today, anyone know if news is imminent?

only thing I heard was in the weekend press-another big marketmaker poised to join plusmarket trading. maybe the deal is done. very pleased with these and it's still early days I think--look at them fighting over the LSE !! LOL.

moneyplus, many thanks onwards & upwards! :-)

So another predator, NASDAQ has joined the bidding war for LSE, with NYSE rumoured to be in hot pursuit. One of their motives may be to escape the US regulators, Sarbanes -Oxley in particular, but the arrival of the Americans over here is likely to encourage even greater efforts from our own regulators at FSE and EU, so any relief may be short lived. Meanwhile little minnow PMK should just grow and grow.

I'm hoping so too.
